     There are almost two million farms in the USA. About 80% of those are small farms & large percentages are family owned. More and more of these farmers are now selling their products directly to the public. Ammonium nitrate was used for munitions during WWII evolved into ammonium nitrate fertilizer; organophosphate nerve gas production led to the development of powerful insecticides. A large scale of chemical agriculture is poisoning our soils and water and weakening our communities. When you buy directly from a family farm you can help put a stop to this unfortunate trend. When you do that you help maintain a healthy environment and a vibrant community for your home in New York.

 

     Using organic farming is when you don’t use pesticides, so having an organic farm saves you money for the other things you need for your farm, and for your personal life style. Eating organic foods most likely will reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes and cancer for individuals.

 

 

The definition of organic farming is the process of producing food naturally.  There are rules for organic farming and organic food production.  Some rules are that there is no use of chemical fertilizers or synthetic drugs.  The main idea behind the organic farming is ‘zero impact’ on the environment.  This method is to avoid the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers and genetically modified organisms to influence the growth of crops.  Gardeners and farmers plan to grow their crops without the aid of artificial fertilizers and harmful chemical pesticides.  The definition of organic varies from place to place but may include things such as a minimum time period that a field is free of chemical use before being used for organic farming.

 

 

 

Organic farming is known for being the oldest form of agriculture worldwide.  Organic farming restricts pesticides, artificial chemical fertilizers, drugs, antibiotics, wormers and animal cruelty.  Most organic products are dairy, such as, milk, cheese, butter, eggs, juice and soy milk but meats can also be organically grown.
